Want to Have the Best High School Reunion Ever ?

Making a reunion website for your high school reunion is the best thing that you can do to create a buzz among your classmates and ensure that you have great attendance at your class reunion.

When your classmates read the stories from your graduating class, and see the pictures of teachers and old pals, it will create a nostalgic mood that will build momentum right up to your high school reunion.

People will visit the website regularly as you fill in the forms of each page to create your flashback page, and test their memories with the Quiz Page. The "then and now" page is a favorite that allows everyone to catch up and attach an old face to how they look today, and everyone loves to use the message board,

Your high school reunion website will become a communications hub for the class reunion. Instead of everyone calling the class reunion committee to ask all sorts of questions, people will go to the reunion website to find all the details of events, maps, schedules, travel information, pay for tickets online and so much more.

The class reunion website also allows you to create and manage guest lists, send invitations by email and accept RSVP's directly on the website. All of the above will save significant funds on postage, printing, long distance phone calls, and more.

Many of your classmates (and fellow committee members) will think you are a genius when you unveil your incredible class reunion website. You might find yourself in a similar position to another myevent.com subscriber who said "All my classmates are so impressed and I haven’t the heart to tell them how EASY it is to make a high school reunion website".

The school reunion website is sure to increase attendance at your class reunion, but an added benefit is that it allows all of your classmates worldwide to feel a part of the festivities even if they could not make it.

When you upload the photos after your high school reunion, and post the warm stories of friends reunited, you will certainly wonder how anyone ever had a reunion without a high school reunion website.

How Lauren Saved $2,460 With A Class Reunion Website

When Lauren Taylor created a reunion website for her class reunion on myevent.com, she thought the high school reunion website would be fun for her classmates and that it would serve as an information center.

She never anticipated that it would allow her to cut more than $2000 from her class reunion budget which paid for the band and the comedian.

The first thing Lauren did was use the planning tools in her control panel to create guest lists for each of the events of the class reunion weekend. She was able to send invitations by email for each event and her classmates were able to RSVP right on the high school reunion website.

By doing this, Lauren saved the $500 that the committee was budgeting for getting the word out. In addition to the invitation, they also saved the stamped reply cards that normally accompany the invitations.

Lauren figures that overall she saved at least $200 in long distance phone calls compared to the last high school reunion she planned. "Last time people were constantly calling me during the day and then I would have to call them back at night. They all wanted to know when and where the events were taking place, and all sorts of other details that we were able to post on the class reunion website this time around".

The next thing Lauren did was negotiate a special deal with some of her vendors. She was able to get a 5% reduction on 3 large expenses (The Band, Caterer and the Hotel) that totaled $5200 (savings of $260) for putting a small blurb about each of these suppliers and a link back to their website on a Vendor Page that she created quickly and easily on her high school reunion website.

The last thing that the committee decided was that since the website was such a smashing success, they would not print a "book" that they distributed at the last reunion. Instead, they rented a projector and showed the class reunion website throughout the evening. They even took digital pictures at the class reunion itself and uploaded pictures instantly on the website. Lauren said "People loved it". Those who wanted something in print, actually printed up the school reunion website, so everyone was happy.

In addition, they wrote some new stories about what happened at the class reunion week-end. They posted everything on the website after the reunion and updated certain pages like the quiz page, the poll page, and kept the pages everyone loved to visit like "then & now", "teachers", Guest Book etc...

Lauren said that one of the poll questions on the class reunion website after the reunion was, did you prefer the high school reunion website to the book ? "The overwhelming response was yes...We not only saved the $1500 for the book, we let all the people around the world who had a connection to the school feel like they were part of the festivities even though they could not make it".

This is a summary of what Lauren saved:

Invitations and reply cards	= $500
Long Distance phone calls	= $200
Vendor discounts	= $260
Money saved from printing "book"	= $1500
Total	= $2460

Hopefully you can incorporate some or all of Lauren's ideas and help save money with your Reunion Website !
